- Marshmallows: You’ll use regular-sized (large) marshmallows in this recipe.
- Chocolate chips: Semi-sweet or milk chocolate chips will work.

- Red candy melts: You’ll also need red candy melts.

How to Make Valentine’s Day Marshmallow Pops
- Assemble the Marshmallows: For each lollipop stick or straw, push 3 marshmallows onto it, leaving a bit of space between each marshmallow for easier dipping and decorating.
- Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips in 20-second increments, stirring in between until smooth. Avoid overheating.
- Dip the Marshmallow Pops: Hold each stick and dip all three marshmallows into the hot melted chocolate (be careful!), gently tapping the stick on the edge of the bowl to remove excess chocolate.
- Set the Chocolate Coating: Place the chocolate-dipped marshmallow pops on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Drizzle with White and Red Candy Melts: Melt the white and red candy melts separately in microwave-safe bowls. Using a spoon or piping bag, drizzle the white candy melts over the chocolate-covered marshmallows. Repeat with the red candy melts and then add heart sprinkles.
- Let Harden and Serve: Leave the pops on the parchment paper until the chocolate and candy melts are completely set. Once hardened, they’re ready to serve and enjoy!
